While I can easily relate to the idea of Mara being forces in your mind, I wonder how this fits for practitioners of the more esoteric branches of Buddhism? One thing that keeps me away from the more esoteric schools is the fact that there is a bit too much "Mysticism" for an old Schizo like me!

Edit: Thanks for the Stephen Batchelor link Aloka-D, very interesting.
